Philip Jackson,Dimitrios Hariskos,Erwin Lotter,Stefan Paetel,Roland Wuerz,Richard Menner,Wiltraud Wischmann,Michael Powalla +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a new certified world record efficiency of 20.1 and 20.3% for thin-film solar cells for the first time and analyzed the characteristics of solar cells on such a performance level and demonstrate a high degree of reproducibility.
Journal ArticleDOI
Materials availability expands the opportunity for large-scale photovoltaics deployment.
TL;DR: A roadmap emphasizing low-cost alternatives that could become a dominant new approach for photovoltaics research and deployment is developed and it is found that devices performing below 10% power conversion efficiencies deliver the same lifetime energy output as those above 20% when a 3/4 material reduction is achieved.

Cu2ZnSnS4 thin film solar cells
TL;DR: In this article, the photovoltaic properties of CZTS-based thin film solar cells fabricated by using three types of precursors: (1) the conventional precursor with stacked layers of ZnO:Al/CdS, (2) the modified precursor with the stacking order of Sn/Cu/ZnS, and (3) the precursor with five periods of Cu/SnS 2 /Zn S, which was produced to increase the amount of S and to enhance the interdiffusion in precursor.
